As a designer and community lead for the ILB
project, I "played Dana" -- wrote her blog, answered emails, checked her voice mail,
sent Aunt Margaret's honey, and in general was responsible for keeping tabs on
everything you guys were up to. When Dana disappeared, I got to do
other fun stuff, like make puzzles (my favorites: the cootie catcher and the
prisoner's dilemma puzzles), help design the live event missions, masquerade as
the Operator on gmail, and track and schedule all of the axons. As the
official Axon Master, I now know more about payphone locations, quirks, and
malfunctions than Ma Bell ever did!

IN PHOTOS: (above) "Dana" (me!) makes labels for Aunt
Margaret's honey and prepares to stuff black letters spelling out "i love bees"
into the honey jars (a very messy day!) , to send out as the first rabbit hole.
(July 2004) (far right) Dana went on a backpacking trip to Asia... and so
did I! Her trip: July - October 2004; my trip: May - June 2004. We
visited all the same places (Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore), of course.
In this photo, I'm becoming invisible at Shibuya crossing. (left) I went
as 'I Love Bees' for Halloween, very high concept, no?

I LOVE BEES
